<h3 class="post-title">Groovy Goodness: Default Imports</h3>

<div class="post">
<p>Groovy allows to write dense code. For example we don't have to write explicit <code>import</code> statements for a lot of every day packages. The following packages are imported by default in Groovy:</p>
<pre class="brush:groovy;light:true">
java.io.* 
java.lang.* 
java.math.BigDecimal 
java.math.BigInteger 
java.net.* 
java.util.* 
groovy.lang.* 
groovy.util.* 
</pre>
<p>So we can write code like this without an import statement:</p>
<pre class="brush:groovy">
def now = new Date()
def file = new File(".")
def url = new URL('http://mrhaki.blogspot.com')
def list = new ArrayList()
</pre
</div>

<script language="javascript"> 
SyntaxHighlighter.config.bloggerMode = true;
SyntaxHighlighter.config.clipboardSwf = 'scripts/clipboard.swf';
SyntaxHighlighter.defaults['first-line'] = 0;
SyntaxHighlighter.defaults['auto-links'] = false;
SyntaxHighlighter.all();
dp.SyntaxHighlighter.HighlightAll('code');
</script>
